With billions of dollars in contracts at stake, medical device manufacturers are pushing steadfast to conform to ISO 13485 regulatory requirements. Despite its widespread commercial implications, the popular standard is squarely focused on improving patient safety.

Nordson MEDICAL will perform a comprehensive assessment of the small bore connectors that you currently utilize in your application and then we will provide you with a consultative report on how your business could be impacted by the upcoming standards. This report will include a projected standardization timeframe, the ISO sub-group that your parts fit into, a list of parts affected as well as a list of standard conforming small bore connector solutions going forward and a transition plan for ISO 80369 conformance.

As the leading global fluid management component manufacturer, Nordson MEDICAL is excited to sponsor this webinar addressing the details surrounding the new ISO 80369 standards that will soon be implemented in the component manufacturing industry, specifically for IV, breathing systems, enteral, urethral, cuff inflation, and neuraxial applications.

The development of these standards for incompatible connectors will reduce the occurrence of misconnections caused by the inadvertent connection of incorrect systems. Compliance with ISO 80369 standards may require new designs, parts, and moldings for specific applications, and Nordson MEDICAL will discuss the implications of these changes.

The expert in this webinar will outline everything you need to know about ISO 80369 standards. Learn why the industry needs these standards, what the standards are, how the industry will be affected, when the standards will come into effect, and how to stay up-to-date on ISO 80369 news.

A one-stop-shop fluid management component supplier assures quality, streamlines processes, and limits costs. To be certain you receive the preeminent and safest single-use component, take time to evaluate your fluid-management supplier or a supplier under consideration by asking 6 important questions.

The luer connector has been one of the most common types of small-bore connectors used in hospitals and other healthcare facilities to link or join medical devices, components and accessories for the purpose of delivering fluids or gases. But just as the luer's universal design has allowed for ease of use in diverse patient care applications, so too has it made possible the inadvertent connection of wrong systems with unfortunate consequences to patients. An international effort has begun to develop and implement standards for non-interchangeable connectors for small bore medical connectors to prevent tubing misconnections and consequently reduce patient injuries and deaths. Nordson MEDICAL is actively participating in the development of these standards and is keeping the latest news on our website.

Nordson MEDICAL, a premier supplier of precision plastic components, introduces a cost efficient needlefree swabable valve series featuring higher flow rates, low priming volumes, and a straight through design for unobstructed flow. Designed for the injection and aspiration of fluids, particularly for IV applications, urology, blood processing, cardiology, pharma, and disposable biopharm, the hermetic septum seal reduces the risk of biofilm formation and contamination in an industry where infection is a particular concern. These valves are available in widely-used polycarbonate and copolyester materials, and are compatible with all industry standard luer syringes and connectors, validating them as the ideal component solution for the OEM market. Nordson MEDICAL's needlefree swabable valves' normally closed system negates the need for caps in order to reduce the risk of infection. Not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP, the materials are gamma radiation stable and EtO compatible for sterilization.

A more robust alternative for bioprocessing needs, the RQC Series offers a cost effective solution for flexible tubing connections in single use systems. The connector set features a user-friendly interface that includes a large button, making it easy to connect and disconnect the components. The optional, integral, and easy to use locking feature gives you peace of mind knowing your connection is secure. The RQC Series also includes caps and plugs to support sterilization, and being available in widely used polypropylene and polycarbonate materials, these connectors are compatible with most industry standard quick connects. The single barb open flow design provides security and mitigates flow path obstruction. No longer do you have to worry about your tubing connection and the transfer of valuable fluids!

The material is resistant to chemicals and plasticizers found in flexible tubing and provides antimicrobial capabilities against a variety of microorganisms commonly found in healthcare facilities as tested by JIS Z 2801 protocol. Nordson MEDICAL’s luer fittings are part of a standardized system of small-scale tubing connectors used to make secure leak-proof unions in medical devices and laboratory instruments. Available in the FTLL230-CM550 and MTLL230-CM550 luers, the antimicrobial material will give you peace-of-mind knowing you have a secure connection, with sanitary fittings fighting against harmful microbes. Nordson MEDICAL will add additional parts with the antimicrobial resin based upon customer demand. Please contact your sales representative to discuss further.

The luer is a standard tubing connector prevalent in medical devices largely due to its ease of use and affordable nature. Unfortunately, however, the common use of this standard design has resulted in the risk of tubing misconnections within healthcare environments. Alternatives to these fittings have therefore begun to increase in popularity.

The BPL Series of connectors incorporates a quarter-turn design that is commonly used in blood pressure applications – particularly in blood pressure cuffs. Features such as Nordson MEDICAL’s patented 10-point grip coupled with the BPL’s winged male fitting provide for top-of-the-line ergonomics, and the snap-on connection presents the end user with confidence that a secure fit has been made. These attributes can be crucial in healthcare environments due to hindrances such as dark rooms, baggy rubber gloves, and the potential for situations that don’t allow time for fumbling.

Nordson MEDICAL
announces the PharmaLok™ Series – a new line of ergonomic, single-use sanitary
clamps for securing fittings to bag ports and filters in the biopharmaceutical
market.

PharmaLok clamps provide a significant advancement for the industry, as a number of existing solutions either require tools for closure or consist of multiple components, which turns what should be a simple operation into a difficult and awkward process.

Nordson MEDICAL announces that they have signed a new distributor, John Morris Scientific Pty Ltd (JMS), to strengthen their presence in Australia and New Zealand.

Nordson MEDICAL manufactures innovative, high-quality fluid fittings and other fluid management components used with the flexible tubing employed in many healthcare, biopharmaceutical, and industrial applications. After serving more than 100 Oceania companies directly from their factory in Colorado, Nordson MEDICAL is pleased to be able to provide these customers with local service from 12 JMS offices throughout the region.

Nordson MEDICAL's new high tech series of bag ports offers a variety of benefits new to the biopharmaceutical industry through
a combination of Value Pharma™ resin and a unique design. Value Pharma™ resin
holds credentials that many manufacturers deem fundamental, such as animal
derivative free qualification, USP Class VI certification, and the guarantee of
heat sealing and conformance with polyethylene bags. The resin then goes even
further to provide a strong, 24-hour resistance to alcohol stress cracking.

Their unique design sets these new ports apart from existing solutions.
They not only conform with frequently utilized tubing sizes from 1/8" (3.2 mm) to 1" (25.4 mm), but they are
also designed to ASME and BPE ferrule specifications, allowing them to work with leading industry fittings, filters and other devices. However, the most notable of the bag ports’ specifications are those that are new to the industry – the parabolic lead and the alignment ribs. These two features, respectively, reduce the amount of time it takes to drain a bag by 24 percent and improve flow dynamics through the port.

Nordson MEDICAL is pleased to announce the immediate availability of their latest precision fluid management component catalog, Vol. 26. The new catalog contains detailed information on over 4,000 off-the-shelf parts as well as several new products, including the RQC Series of quick connect fittings and a new innovative line of single-use sanitary clamps – the Pharmalok Series.

Selecting from thousands of tubing connectors can be an unforeseen hindrance on speed to market – a competitive edge on which companies thrive. Therefore, to increase ease of use and efficiency, Nordson MEDICAL has chosen to make two catalog formats available to end users. For those more comfortable with solid, dependable ink, the printed desktop version will be available.
